Ace Jax, I have had the same thing since day one! i put a worm gear on the hose that connects to the valve cover from the intake manifold (the hose on the back with that little twist tie looking thing holding it on) so it doesnt pop off but i still have that irritating BANG every now and then... i havent had any issues with it yet. im not officially tuned yet either so that might be it.. but mine only had smoke like the first and second time i did it.. after that no smoke just POP!

haha my bad! hose clamps! haha worm gear hose clamps same thing! just get one around the same size, slip it on there and thighten it down, but nottttt tooooo tight! hahaha the smoke is from popping if..
for me it solved the dying out issue when it pops off but the bang is still there.. quite irritating and embarrasing sometimes when people are like:
"WTF that dudes ____ is broken!"

put a hose clamp on it and you wont ever have to pop the hood and put it back on! haha as far a solution for people looking at you funny when it pops..
when you are leaving your school ensure you slam the throttle so you build a lot of vaccum then change gears.. then they'll be like... "damnnnnnn"
you>them un boosted fools!

I just got my map in now, but it doesnt idle and the engine dies. are some maps always like that (using olahalo's map), or you let the ecu relearn and adjust first and then its good. Maybe i'll reset the ecu first since i've been running crappy without any tune and then here comes the map

I miss my car. Its getting ripped apart today so I'll know exactly what went wrong and what all will need to be fixed. I'm thinkin about sleeving the block and stronger rods and pistons for starters. Then I'll get my second head built when I have more money.

hypno...where's that pic of the blasted spark plug?
and Ace, do like Jax said, try resetting the ECU first and then running Ola's map. If that one don't work, have you tried the dezod map yet? just don't use Java's week map!
j/k
